I love respectful discourse. I am an elderly 3rd Culture Kid and a vintage feminist, a bit apprehensive about the way the world is turning.

Are there any indivisible groups overseas. Some of us are living overseas due to various life circumstances, we are voters and we want to stay involved in what is happening back home.

(above images of President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump) "Musk, in a Supreme Court race, in a small race in one state, is getting involved. Now, if you can get involved in a Supreme Court race in the state of Wisconsin, where can you not get involved? You can get involved in every governor's race, every Senate race. That is their intention."

Elon Musk is not only determined to infiltrate every level of the federal government, heโ€™s coming after our local elections, too. Weโ€™re not going to let him get away with it. Pitch in if you can to help us stop Musk from buying the Wisconsin Supreme Court election: secure.actblue.com/donate/scowi...

U.S. Terminates Funding for Polio, H.I.V., Malaria and Nutrition Programs Around the World Here are some of the 5,800 contracts the Trump administration formally canceled this week in a wave of terse emails.

It is sometimes said that 'a clown with a flamethrower still has a flamethrower'.

The US is in the hands of sociopaths with chainsaws.

Trump, Musk and RFK Jr will kill many thousands.

21 federal technology staffers resign rather than help Musk and DOGE slash size of government Twenty-one civil service employees have resigned from billionaire Trump adviser Elon Muskโ€™s Department of Government Efficiency, saying they're refusing to use their technical expertise to โ€œdismantle ...

21 DOGE staffers resign rather than help use their technical expertise to โ€œdismantle critical public services," according to a resignation letter obtained by the AP.

Musk has largely tried to keep technical talent at DOGE, mostly laying off designers & product managers.

BOOM! Bishop Mariann Budde has responded to her critics who told her to apologize to Donald Trump.

โ€œI am not going to apologize for asking for mercy for others.โ€

Smash that repost if you agree she owes Trump ZERO apologies!! ๐Ÿฆ‹

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you."

Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldnโ€™t affect Head Start and Medicaid.

This is how we do it. Call out Trumpโ€™s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

Let's be clear: the Medicaid portal went offline because of Donald Trump's orders.

The only reason it is back on is due to outrage from the American people.

Now, they are trying to lie about it.

Medicaid was never taken away from Americans under President Biden.

Iโ€™m watching the goings on in Canada and hope that if anything, any crumb of good, comes out of our foulest of foul outcomes, it is to send a warning to those around you who may still incline to the far right.
Thank you so much for standing with us.
